Not tempered, with Tempered, and with an a number of its own, adjusting bolt for the matching numbers on position of the scope, both parts.

The main differences between the m/41 and m/41 B rifles were: It would instead be turned in to a work shop, where the old barrel would be exchanged for a new one. “ 3” means pitting in the whole bore (which means unserviceable). “ 2” means pitting in the groves and on the side of the lands. The last sector gives information on the level of bore pitting. This is the information in the second sector. As most rifles were already manufactured with iron sights for the 'm/94 bullet', the aiming correction in mills (how much lower you had to aim to hit the target) was inscribed on the brass disc. The m/41 round had a much flatter trajectory than the older m/94. The largest sector is stamped with the calibre of the barrel. Mills (1 Swedish mill = 1 meter at 1000 meters = 3,6' at 100 yds) 'Point of impact over line of sight' (also means 'estimate') The AGJ sight is marked 'SM sikte agj-ram' and looks very similar to the later 'SM sikte m/55' used on the m/41 snipers rifle.īullet with boat tail (also means 'torpedo') The sight ladder is stamped '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6' and '8' on the left side, and with index lines for 50m and a '7' on the right side.Ībout 12000 of the FSR-rifles used a sight called the AGJ-sight made by 'A. They were sold to members of the 'FSR' at a low cost (200 kronen) on the condition that the owner would sell his rifle back to the Army in case of total mobilization.Ībout 5000 of the FSR-rifles used a new m/43 leaf sight in 50 m intervals from 100 to 600 metres, and 100 m intervals from 600 to 800 metres. These rifles were made to the same specifications as the armys m/96 rifles and the production was partly financed by the Crown. The rifle organization 'Frivilliga skytterörelsen' (FSR) ordered some 20000 m/96 rifles from Husqvarna in the beginning of the 1940s. There was a civilian production of the m/96 as well. The insert micrometer sight for the m/96 rifle is graduated from 100 to 750 metres and is calibrated for civilian pointed ammunition. This one is quite similar to the 'SM sikte m/38' used on the type I m/38 rifle, only difference is markings on elevation knob. However there were several civilian SM sights, including a nickel-plated SM micrometer sight to be inserted in the ordinary sight ladder. Trails were made with the 'SM sikte F ram', but for some reason this minor modification was never carried out. The Army's intention was to equip all m/96 rifles with a SM sight, calibrated for the m/41 'torped' ammunition. The height of the correct front sight post was stamped on the left side of the front sight base, and a 'T' on the right side (T for 'Torped', which means a pointed boat-tailed bullet like the m/41).Īfter this modification the flipped up position was never used. The rifles were then sighted in - spot on at 300 metres using the pointed m/41 ammunition. The Armourers had to remove the sight on every rifle and place it in a special jig, then file the sight notch to the new shape and refit the sight. The m/41 front sights are available in 9 different heights, from -1 to +3 millimetres in 0,5 millimetre increments.Īt the same time the rear sight was altered to have a U-shaped notch. In the 1940s the front sight was changed to a new m/41 rectangular post. The width of the leaf at the axle-end is 11 millimetres. A rifleman never used the flipped up position on his own - it was only used for simultaneous fire at ranks of enemies. When flipped up it is graduated from 700 to 2000 metres. When folded down the rear sight is graduated from 300 to 600 metres, in 100 m steps. The m/96 rifle used a triangular front sight post and a rear leaf sight with a V-shaped notch. Rifles manufactured later got stock cut from copper beech. Rifles made during WW1 have stocks cut from birch, elm or mahogany. The m/96 rifle used a short knife bayonet with a hollow steel handle, called the ' bajonett m/96' - though it was actually not adopted until the summer of 1897.Įarly rifles have stocks cut from walnut.
